Biography
Nate Honig was from New Jersey, and he decided to become a thief to feed his family. Honig and Rowland Smith robbed bootleggers of their liquor during Prohibition, and Honig and Smith robbed one of Mickey Doyle's warehouses in December 1922 as Doyle relieved himself in the outhouse. Honig was captured by Doyle's partners Manny Horvitz and Enoch Thompson and taken to an apartment on Fourth and Royal in Atlantic City, and Thompson discovered that Smith was Honig's partner after luring Honig into a false state of security by criticizing Doyle's lack of security at the warehouse. Thompson then left the building and coldly told Horvitz to kill Honig, and Horvitz executed Honig with a shot to the head. Smith believed that Honig was murdered by Bureau of Prohibition agents, and Smith would later be tracked down and killed by Thompson.
